You just *know* that the studio really wants a white guy. And that all this “we can’t find a guy after 2000 auditions” is just cover for when they announce that Aladdin will be played by Hugh Jackman.

I assume Jake Gyllenhaal is busy?
Casino Royale is his origin story as a double-oh, and then the movies that follow are how he’s old and washed up and can barely do his job because of the damage of all his old injuries.
I absolutely hate Craig. I had really hoped that we were finally done with him after Spectre. His Bond is just so miserable. No humour, no fun, no passion, just a grizzled old spy going through the motions.
WE DO NOT GET INTO WHO JAMES BOND IS.
Hah, no, she liked the movie. It was...specific aspects.
Every single problem with Spectre could have been solved by abandoning that stupid connection between Blofeld and Bond, instead just making Blofeld the scheming mastermind he’s supposed to be. Every. Single. Problem.
Oh, it’s not the fact that it is a continuation of Casino Royale’s bigger plot. It is that it kind of redo what the end of Casino Royale already did. See, the whole point of Casino Royale was to build up to making Craig the Classic Bond. It culminates with the scene with Mr. White, where Bond says his famous…
I have to disagree about Quantum of Solace being nothing but an epilogue to Casino Royale. While I agree that QoS was a departure from the previous Bond format, with each film encapsulating a standalone story from the career of 007, there have always been certain meta-plot points, which tie all the films together. The…
My favorite thing about (Live and Let Die) is that it’s essentially just a series of chases for the last hour. It’s great. While I hope there’s a little more spy work happening in Bond 25, I think you’re right - let’s hope Bond 25 can strike the same balance of the most recent Mission Impossible movie, which I…
You might as well ask Christopher Nolan to make a “Batman 66" movie.
But (Spectre being the) worst Bond film? Yeah, I disagree.
Look, Spectre was bad. Reeeeeaaaaally bad. Apart from that amazing cold open, it was boring and trite and the song was awful. And that’s coming from the guy who thinks Casino Royale was the best bond film ever, Quantum of Solace deeply underrated, and Skyfall good but not great. But the worst Bond film? Yeah, I…
I actually think that Kingsmen is a pretty fun substitute for that kind of campy spy movie, if you haven’t already seen it.

That chase is pretty gorgeously shot though — and it has the joke with the Fiat, that’s fun right? The scene in the Alps with the plane fell really flat for me though. It just keeps going and going ... and how do you put him in the Alps and NOT have him ski?

If they want to get away from the pretentious, dour, navel-gazing Bond, they need to hire someone other than Sam Mendes. Matthew Vaughn ushered Daniel Craig into Bond with his “Bond moment” in Layer Cake, it’s only fitting he should give him the swansong. X-Men: First Class is still the most energetic, brisk, and…
Yep. My thoughts exactly. Looking for a notice that they’re bringing back the fun. Emo-Bond needs to go.
I feel like this is how we got Die Another Day, and Bond parasurfing on a melting CGI glacier. ..
